Mango Salsa
Description
Mango Salsa combines ripe mango diced alongside crunchy cucumber, chopped cilantro, red onion, and jalapeno peppers for heat. Lime zest and juice add acidity and brightness while granulated sugar and kosher salt bring balanced sweetness and seasoning. The ingredients are mixed together and served immediately or chilled to blend the flavors.
The salsa’s texture offers a crisp contrast with juicy fruit pieces and a spicy kick from the peppers. The lime juice freshens the dish, balancing sweetness and heat. It requires no cooking and offers a colorful, fresh condiment that enhances many dishes.
This salsa pairs well with grilled fish, chicken, or vegetable dishes and can add a fresh contrast to spicy or rich foods. It works as a flavorful topping or a standalone dip with chips.
Chilling the salsa for a couple hours before serving allows flavors to meld. Adjusting sugar can compensate if mangoes lack sweetness. Using serrano peppers instead of jalapenos will increase heat for a spicier version.
Ingredients
- 3 Mango peeled, pitted, and diced, ripe
- 1 cup cucumber English, diced
- ½ cup cilantro loosely packed, chopped
- ½ cup red onion diced
- 2 jalapeno pepper diced
- 1 lime zested and juiced
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and toss together until combined.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Add extra sugar if the mangoes or salsa taste less sweet to balance acidity.
- Letting the salsa sit refrigerated for about 2 hours before serving helps the flavors meld better.
- You can serve the salsa immediately if short on time without refrigeration.
- For more heat, swap jalapenos with serrano peppers.
